Dirty Like an Angel

What a bunch of jerk-offs!

I'm 10 minutes late and you're sitting on your hands!

Get to work!

You growing roots?

Let's check out the A-rabs.

Turn right.

Shake 'em down a little.

Let's go.

Gotta remind 'em we're around.

Keep 'em on their toes.

Next right?

The corner bar.

- We bust 'em before? - Yeah.

Hello, Inspector!

Long time no see.

Shot of anise?

Sure, why not.

And him?

No problem, he's a friend.

They say anise's good for the health, Inspector!

You'd better look out for my health...

Why, Inspector, what's up?

I was worried sick!

Why not see a doctor?

It'll pass. I'll get over it.

Anyhow, if it's cancer, I want to keep it. It's mine.

Don't say that.

Get the hell outta my room.

Go get me some ice!

From the freezer?

From the radiator, stupid!

You could've told me you were ill!

Too bad! It was a great party!

Caviar, champagne, salmon, everything!

He spoils me! He gave me a Mercedes convertible!

Don't you have one already?

It's the latest model. It's red!

Don't tire him!

I won't, I promise.

Room's OK?

I could stay here the rest of my life!

It's all I missed out on as a kid.

I didn't know being babied was so much fun.

You always this nice?

With people I like.

Don't tire him.

I promise!

You've got a problem.

I didn't want to come.

I just wanted to talk.

I'm sick, and you look terrible.

You know me.

If I'm sent up for 10 because I goofed...

I don't pester you.

If I gotta take a bullet in the head, I will.

Just bury me.

Fuck it.

I'll take my chances...

Sounds like you're deep in shit.

The Captain...

They're all coming... The whole precinct! Scram!

Theron...

This is for you.

From your colleagues.

It's breakable!

- Crazy dude! - It's nothing.

Nailed!

Found in a chick's pad!

A goddam liar!

The old "I can't remember" ploy!

That Arab babe you sicked while I held her kid next door!

[Officer B] still wants you!

She's jealous.

I was too busy to sign it!

Took us a year, but we recovered it!

We're hot stuff!

Keep your hand off my shoulder! Makes me nervous!

Dude's playing with fire!

Give it to the little woman!

Give it to her!

Ah, shit!

Your turn.

Sucking' gun!

You're living high!

Does your wife raise her skirt to get on?

Where's your hotel?

Intimidate St.

Drop me. I've a call to make.

I can drop you now.

No. I wanna kiss your wife.

Hey, it's those Africans!

Get the number.

I got it. Let's forget 'em.

Gotta check out a babe.

A whore?

Not really.

You've only been married 4 weeks!

There's my wife, and all the other broads.

My wife's sacred.

You sound like a pimp. Why'd you get married?

She was a virgin. I've known her for years.

You never showed up. I waited for you.

When I do show, you're never waiting.

Hello, Inspector. Buy you a drink?

We don't bite! You always say no.

How 'bout it?

I got your number.

Your striped suit, gold chain, alligator shoes...

You're a pimp!

- That's just howl dress! - You can't buy us with scotch!

If I ever bust you, you'll do along stretch!

Be good

and it's your treat.

It's gotta be champagne?

No. Scotch.

Our best scotch!

Since we're friends...

Scotch for the Inspector.

Give him the bottle.

Shall I pour?

We gotta go.

Be right down!

What're you doing here?

I came to say hello.

Found your dream apartment?

Maybe. I like it!

Invite me to the housewarming. I mean it!

Sure is... different.

A bit like outer-space.

What's that?

TV transmitter.

You either love it or hate it.

I like the common touch.

Common is the word.

Sorry. It's a mess.

How did you become a cop?

Tidier tell you how he joined?

Sure. But not everyone's the same...

As a kid he wanted to be top dog.

My story's simple:

I took a medical to be a paratrooper.

There was...

a newspaper lying around...

We were three guys just bumming around...

We saw this ad

recruiting for the police...

send a form and a medical record.

We had ours, so we sent 'em

And then...

we forgot about it...

8 months later it came through.

I didn't want to go back home...

or re-enlist in the Foreign Legion.

Foreign Legion's awful!

Yes.

But I like being a cop.

Yeah, it's great!

Marriage is a risk: 2 people sharing everything...

Being single's not easy either!

It's got its ups and downs.

Sometimes it's better being alone...

But you can wind up with some awful sluts!

Quit crying!

He's the biggest sexist on the force!

My mother didn't love me, so I take it out on all women.

- I'm mental. - Nice story!

He'll always find an excuse...

I think it's true.

Thanks for the image, you bastard!

Custom fit!

Now what do I do?

How do I grow lily white again?

Anyway, it shows.

Is he any better?

Sure he is.

Drive... Keep moving.

What's the problem, Mona?

We may not see each other again...

Here's a hot tip:

The hooker hotel on Budapest St.

Didn't the guys wear masks?

So what?

I also know...

we took them for $50,000, not $5,000.

Dirty money, understand?

They couldn't bitch to the cops.

Aren't you taking a risk?

There were 5 of you

They'll know the 5th guy squealed

When those guys try to kill me,

it'll be too late.

I ask only one thing in exchange.

See that my wife and kid don't pay for my backups.

You didn't have to ask.

I know, but I'm asking.

We're not on the same side of the fence...

even if I am a cop...

We've been friends for 10 years.

If it's too rough, call me.

Heard you're out to get me!

Help yourself! Shoot!

You're no cop, you're a bastard!

You fucked up, clown. Next time I'll plug you.

Sucking' lowlife!

How about me? How am I don'?

No funny money!

You're stupid.

I'll die young anyway.

Jerk!

Where's Tidier?

He can't sleep over now.

He's gotta check in.

- Didn't he tell you? - Shut up!

He never spent a whole night with me

That's life!

I hate that kind of wake up call... Don't!

Shit!

What time is it?

Forget it.

When you stayed over, I figured you'd want more!

No problem.

I told you, I get up early!

Only one roll.

Didn't know you had company.

Not to worry.

I can't guess every time.

She doesn't like it, she can lump it!

Calm down! It's not like you're the first...

Shit! Where are you?

What, "not important"?

I mailed you a key.

I didn't want you mixed up in this.

But there's no other way.

Give it to Airletter... but only after...

You crazy?

You don't want 'em to get your family? Where are you?

Give it later.

There's a contract out on me.

Where are you?

Nobody loves me. Guys screw me and leave me.

Slam the door when you leave.

He phoned me... We'll find him.

I'm a cop, Airletter. I'll find him.

Take a tranquilizer...

Then take another.

Keep cool.

Don't go out. Lock the door. Don't let anyone in.

That's what he said? He was right!

I'll send someone to protect you. Night and day.

Feel safer?

See you.

You're late and you look tired! Marriage on the rocks?

The opposite.

You won't be getting any for a while.

I've got a big job for you

How long do I rot here?

Long as it takes.

Couldn't you find anyone else?

You and Manorial are my 2 best friends.

I was in a bind.

I'm needed at the station: I can't just take off...

Officially, you're not here.

Tidier...

Keep your gun within reach.

You're not here by accident, you agree?

You don't agree? Fuck you!

When you wanna see your kids?

In 25 years? 30 years?

You shielding some asshole who squealed on you?

We'll help you, if you help us...

Don't spend all night on this!

You'll walk if you tell us where Manorial is. I promise.

OK. Last I saw Manorial, he was on Budapest St.

That was months ago.

Where can I find him?

No idea.

- Where's Mohammed? - Hello, Inspector.

Maybe in the back.

Common, Moro, we gotta talk

- Where? - My office... common!

If they see me go with you, they'll know l squeal!

- That's your problem! - It's Friday! I gotta cook.

Want me to tell 'em right now?

Sit down.

Hows business?

Bad.

Scared I'll up my cut?

No! Really, it's bad.

I got some questions for you.

I'll try to help if I can.

Can you help me with Manorial?

I don't get it...

There's a contract on him.

Who put it out?

I don't know... I'm out of the dope scene.

I'm a nobody.

If I say you tried to sell me this you're in big trouble!

They'll kill me if I talk.

You see?

Things are improving.

At the Turk's on the west side.

They got stung for a kilo I don't know who by.

He double-crossed them! Took his chances!

I'm small fry. I never deal more than 3 ounces!

I don't care if they kill him. He asked for it!

Yeah, but he's my buddy.

A dope dealer?

You want the truth, you shit? He rats on you all.

Not out of fear like you. Because he despises you!

He's a prince!

Don't take it out on me!

You'll get over it. Don't worry

Hi, Frankie!

Dion' OK?

No. Too many hassles.

Some guys just busted my balls. Now you're here.

- Me? Bust your balls? - You gonna be trouble?

- I do you favors... - So? Wanna drink?

- No time. - What's up then?

I'm looking for Manorial.

Manorial who?

Manorial. My friend. The fat guy You know who I mean.

Mona doesn't hang out here.

You know Mona hangs out across town.

I've seen him here.

This is dealer turf. Macaroni’s a heist man. They don't mix.

Keep talking.

Manorial hangs out at Paul's. He'll be there.

He isn't.

Why do you come here? It'll ruin me...

Get off it...

Don't ask me questions. I haven't seen Manorial.

If you want to find him...

- Got a pal who knows? - My pals don't rat.

No one wants the Crime Squad on his ass!

What's happening?

Nothing. We're out of 1-40 forms.

Questioning two motorcycle thieves... usual thing.

So your grandmother's bike has no registration, huh?

What's so funny?

Nothing.

You wanna settle this man to man?

Spit out that gum.

- Why? - 'Cause I said so!

You're right to scare 'em! Can't hold 'em anyway.

Come see me later.

Back to your grandma.

- You got no ID? - I got no ID.

Hello?

He's here. Just a minute.

It's Theron.

I know it's been 5 days

Who?

And the kid?

Fuck the kid! I'm not his nanny!

This is getting on my nerves!

And the phone rings all day.

Sure I answer. No one on the line.

Good. They know someone's there.

Stick at it.

This is bullshit. At least bring me my wife!

Pig! So that's what's eating you!

It is not! So fuck off!

Before or after I bring your wife?

It's Debauchee!

Sorry, I wasn't expecting you.

Not so fast! I'm taking you to Theron.

I have to dress.

That's not dressed?

I look awful.

I don't think so.

Because you don't see me with a lover's eyes.

MY lucky day!

I have one at home, but never play it.

Dressed like a strawberry sundae!

Don't you like it?

On the contrary. Very tempting.

You weren't so bad before either.

I don't like looking sloppy.

Theron said not to bother phoning, you're always home.

See? It's true!

You could go to a movie, or eat out with a friend.

I have no friends. I'm boring.

I don't believe it.

You're just being polite

Kind of fancy.

Yeah, but sinister.

I don't think so.

Then you're not a real Parisian.

It's like a big fridge.

Even housing projects are livelier.

I thought you'd never get here!

Would I just dash out?

Do I dress like this to stay home alone?

I had to get ready...

This place's incredible!

Balconies everywhere!

Pimping pays well.

So does racketeering.

- Don't talk like that in his house. - Fuck his house!

That look familiar?

No.

I know I'm a cop, Airletter, but

Help me.

Try to remember...

Where would he hide?

Who was he dealing with?

He never told me anything.

He said the less I knew, the better.

Pass me the milk.

I'm too down to feed my kid.

It'll be OK.

- What are you making? - A grave.

Why?

It's not true we go to heaven.

When you're in the ground you can't get out.

Who told you that nonsense?

See, you can get out!

Your dad's a tough guy, lemme tell you.

I promise you he'll be around a long time.

When I saw him, he kissed me and cried.

Sure, he loves you a lot!

Little punk!

That's what you're after, huh?

Just like your dad!

Is it heavy?

Here.

- Careful... it's loaded. - Can I fire it?

Sure.

But I have to file a report every time I shoot one.

See all those little bullets?

You aim like that...

That's what the rule book says...

But we write our own rules.

Wanna fire one?

What's up?

Just us guys having fun

You fucking moron! Scared the shit outta me!

Shut up and hump!

Where were you? We looked for you...

Not for long.

Well?

You're both leaving already?

Why? Didn't you get what you wanted?

It's a great pick-me-up!

Let me ask you: You approve of his behavior?

Some women like that.

They're awful!

No, it's just a different attitude.

But you...

You're a princess.

You intimidate men.

It's true.

You're unapproachable.

He's so obviously not your type.

Watching you two together...

it's pathetic.

How could you've been so dumb?

Especially to marry him.

At least I'm sure he loves me.

He's loved me since he was a kid.

I didn't know you as a kid, so I got no chance, huh?

I can't aspire to kiss you?

You're crazy... don't!

Kiss me.

You're mad. This is ridiculous!

Yes, ridiculous...

You love a woman, for a moment it seems possible...

Then it's ridiculous.

Sorry. I must be crazy.

But I thought it could happen.

I know.

I really did.

Well...

Go home.

Kiss me.

As a friend.

It's me.

Who?

Debauchee.

Common up.

Sorry, I'm not dressed.

I know I should have called you.

But I thought I might as well come by

I wanted to ask you out for a walk.

It's raining.

So? It's nice to walk in the rain.

- I'd rather not. - Why?

I don't know. We shouldn't.

Why shouldn't we?

I don't know.

Because of your Don Juan!

He locked you up here so you can't meet anyone.

He doesn't care if you're bored.

As long as he's sure you won't escape...

But he has his fun.

It's different for men.

Really?

So it's no good with him?

You know what I mean.

None of your business.

Maybe.

Maybe not. But I'm right.

Leave me alone.

Seen my couch?

How do you like it?

A bouquet.

Want some ice?

It's you I want.

Icy you.

Anyone ever tell you you're chilling?

I bet you never had much success.

You scare men.

Oh, sure! Give me 5 minutes to change.

Shall we go?

Yeah...

let's go.

It's that chilly manner that turns me on.

If we start, we'll never stop.

That's right, we'll never stop.

For days I've thought only of you.

I love you.

I can't work any more.

I've been all wired up.

Ever since I saw you at the hotel...

Ever since...

oddly enough...

I've hated him.

Don't talk about him.

No, George!

It's too mean to him...

Wouldn't bother him...

I couldn't look you in the face...

We mustn't see each other.

It's OK.

That's all that's bothering you?

I hate lies.

I'd have to live a lie.

You're his best friend. You mean more to him than I do.

To me you're more than him. You're everything.

I don't want to!

It'll be your doing.

If I let you,

it won't mean a thing!

But I love you.

Don't you love me?

You won't be mine?

Yes, but...

Stop.

Don't!

Not that...

I've never wanted anyone as I want you.

I love you...

I want all of you.

You're so pretty.

Don't be so sad.

On the contrary...

Don't cry.

It means we both wanted it badly.

I feel like a whore

It's the opposite.

I'm madly in love with you,

and you are with me.

So...

So everything's fine...

just fine...

See, it's just fine.

All finished.

No more tears!

Not in the bedroom! It'd be too horrible.

Would it be better anywhere else?

Not really.

So let's get used to it.

If I'd known it'd hurt you so much,

I wouldn't have started this whole thing.

Can't you see?

I don't know where I stand

It's OK now.

Let's get you under the covers.

It's cold.

It's late. I'm sleepy.

I'd rather you went home.

You kidding?

I prefer sleeping alone.

That's crazy

Making love's OK...

But not sleeping together!

Please! I feel bad enough as it is!

At least let me get used to it.

Don't start feeling guilty!

When 2 people find each other, it's no disgrace, it's luck!

But it's so violent.

I feel stripped of myself.

I never wanted to give in... you made me.

Now I get it!

You're exactly what I thought you were

a good little housewife.

Always worried that things might get out of place.

- That's not true! - Bull!

You're just a good little housewife

That's what excites me about you!

It feels good to fuck up your life a little.

And now...

I want to go eddy-by with you.

But I understand.

You're right.

It's true...

Sweeping’s the most intimate thing of all.

That's howl am.

Just tell me we'll sleep together.

Yes.

When?

I wanna know when.

Not here.

MY place?

Yes.

You're the most incredible woman, I've ever met.

I can't...

I can't leave like this.

It's obscene.

Just a quickie...

Tomorrow.

I want it now, not tomorrow.

Of course, I'll want it tomorrow too...

It's all I'll ever want.

I'll give up living...

to want it even more.

Why?

It's a matter of skin

Think so?

It's soft...

It's smooth...

Give me your address

or I won't know where to come tomorrow!

I ran out to get some cleanser.

The store was closed.

Since when do you sleep so late?

I'm big enough to make my own breakfast.

Grilling suspects late?

Am I too chatty for you?

What time do you usually finish here?

Depends when I'm done.

You gotta go before noon.

Why? Expecting a lady? Doesn't bother me.

- It'll bother her. - I'm used to it.

Theron called.

Says you never call back.

- You told him I'm busy? - Yeah. He wasn't happy...

Any news about my guy?

It's pretty.

Looks like a woman's apartment.

It belonged to an old couple.

I bought it, and let them stay on till they died.

And?

I was lucky. Didn't take long.

Cops aren't supposed to make deals like that.

Why not?

When you know how...

it's easy to knock people off

And you know how?

Sure. There's lots of ways.

That's my collection.

This is my lair

The rest of the place is just a walk-through.

A lonely man's hobby.

Only lonely men collect guns.

Or anything for that matter.

Even collectors of women.

You haven't said hello.

I shouldn't have come.

Why not? Didn't we make a date?

What we did yesterday was madness.

Today too.

How's my Englishwoman?

Why "Englishwoman"?

You're an Englishwoman.

You're very proper.

Even a bit uptight.

I saw right away that you had bedroom eyes.

Really?

You bet.

You knew it from the start?

From the moment you walked into my hospital room.

I didn't do anything.

Didn't have to...

It was written all over your face.

Time I tore off another piece.

Lift your legs.

Common...

lift 'em. Higher!

Squeeze.

Put your legs around my waist.

Squeeze hard.

I'll do anything you tell me.

- If you don't, I'll do nothing - Common, squeeze!

Squeeze hard!

I was afraid you'd gone.

I was going to.

Then I thought, it's not nice.

You fell asleep right away.

Because I felt so good.

You know...

I can't get along without you now.

You're gonna have to.

You're not chained to that guy!

You can divorce him.

Say that again and I'll leave!

Stop in

Don't you see I'm crazy about you?

I know.

Divorce him. I'll marry you.

I've never said that to a woman.

You have Grey hairs.

I'm very old.

You're not very old...

You're just a little fat.

Well, I feel very old.

Ever since I was 12 I've felt old

Like I'm at the end of the road.

When I was little, my mother told me I was ugly.

She didn't love me.

My little brother was the handsome one.

Now he's a small bald lawyer.

My mother said my head was too big.

I think you're handsome.

I never know what to do around you.

I feel like an idiot.

I go all soft.

Everything I hate.

I'll end up drowning in my own self-pity.

Whatsit become of us?

What's going to happen?

This.

That's all there is?

No.

They found him

This your man?

YUP

Not a pretty sight.

Don't touch anything.

You want to see him?

Disgusting, huh?

Nothing more for you to do here.

The doc will certify him. Then he goes to the morgue.

He's been here a while...

You're not Crime Squad...

No, 1st precinct.

He was a friend.

I need to talk to you.

That's new. Usually you just screw me.

Here, have a drink.

When you don't screw, you drink.

That guy Manorial...

Tidier was guarding his family...

He's dead.

There was blood everywhere

They ripped his hideout apart.

Not a pretty sight.

We were horsing around like jerks

playing sheriff...

Serves us right.

Really shakes you!

I'd known him for years.

Since he was 16

he was already a hood!

He didn't have to be...

He was from a good family...

It was in his blood!

Good riddance!

If a cop arrests some young punk,

and they become friends,

it's out of mutual respect.

The first time I arrested him, I told him:

"I got the goods on you!

"I did my job better than you did yours!"

He turned white!

We shook hands.

Bet a bottle of champagne that he'd do 8 years!

6 months later I'm waking down the street.

Who do I see? Him! We fall into each other's arms!

"What're you doing out, you asshole?"

He says: "Don't worry,

"you had the goods on me, all right,

"but they screwed up at the trial,

"the DA was no good,

"they had to let me go."

He bought me a bottle of champagne!

I like honesty.

Things were on the line! Each of us knew the rules!

If he screwed up, I'd send him down the river for 10 years!

But I wasn't going to hassle him for petty shit.

That's the underworld!

Little gangs shifting alliances...

If you play big shot and try to run the show,

the gangs team up...

squeeze you out...

You're through.

You can only beat them by being out on the turf...

working your own turf...

And no 20-year training program can teach you how...

Loyal IV-...

Mutual respect...

Manorial was a hood, I was a cop.

We were friends.

I didn't realize he was bucking the odds.

I was no help to him.

The guys he double-crossed were bad news.

I pity his wife, not him.

Pity's not much good where he is.

He got what he deserved. I won't grieve!

That's a dumb thing to say!

Cut it out!

Who asked you to cry on my shoulder?

You were screwing me instead of doing your job!

Stop in

What would you know!

Am I to blame?

'Cause the guy was an asshole who got knocked off?

He knew the risks.

He should have thought about his wife and kids.

That's men for you: Lily white outside, filthy inside

You should talk!

I knew that was coming...

Sooner or later...

Look. I didn't mean it.

I said it in anger.

I'd knew you'd say that when you got mad.

Common, let's drop it

No! Let's talk about it.

Soon Diddler be back.

Divorce!

Sure!

To marry you!

Marry some guy who guzzles my scotch

and mourns a swine!

I hate to console men. They should console me!

All this 'cause I haven't screwed you today?

Why did I ever let you?

Happy, huh? Just 'cause you made me come.

I hate coming! I hate myself when I come.

I don't want to be loved like that! It's over!

Don't brush your hair when I talk to you.

I'll do what I like!

Look at yourself! You should go home.

Call my husband so he gets back quick.

He doesn't have to stay there now the guy croaked!

Miss him, huh? Need a little variety?

You can be so vulgar.

Variety turns you on, you slut!

So I'm a whore? Go on, say it!

That's just how I feel!

I fucked you and you loved it!

And nothing will ever change that!

Oscar 8 this is Tango 2.

Hazier? This is Debauchee.

Hold on a fucking second!

Call Theron. Tell him he's relieved. I'll see him tomorrow.

No rush...

We didn't do it.

Sure, he owed us money.

But he always paid.

We wouldn't have lent him 100 grand.

We're not crazy!

Maybe to the King of Morocco!

We don't kill just anybody.

Where is everybody?

I kicked them all out.

Wanna drink?

Hazier!

- Yeah? - Nothing.

What an ass on that girl!

Not much from the front, but from behind...

You drinking or what?

How can you drink this shit?

I like sweet things.

It's a broad's drink.

Check out the dwarf! I hate that broad.

Who needs women in this job?

You don't see girl butchers, do you?

She's not bad, I'm gonna try’s do her.

You got guts, kid!

Her face tells you what the rest is like!

I can't stand her!

On the other hand, there's a new broad DA... wow!

I'd like to do her on her desk! Sexy bitch!

And she goes for cops:

Got photos of cops all over her office!

One look, you know the score!

Tidier!

12 Jules Ferry St. on the west side.

It's not j us t Arabs

blacks too: 500’s.

Your wife bitch when you're out all night?

Not if I'm with you.

She likes you a lot. Always asks about you.

Really?

She thinks you have a busy love life!

Come to the house for dinner again.

Not right now though, she's too tired

What's wrong?

I didn't want to tell you: she's pregnant

No.

I swear.

You happy?

You see me as a dad?

Diapers, bottles, the works...

I don't even like kids.

If it's a girl, I'd fuck her before she's 18!

Cut it out.

We know the only day we could have made it

You were there!

At Macaroni’s?

I needed it bad... couldn't hold back...

She wanted a kid. It's why she married me.

Women don't really give a fuck about men.

Once you give 'em a kid, all you're good for is money.

You can only screw 'em to give 'em another kid.

They only want you for your sperm!

So I was very careful... know what I mean?

Always pulled out quick...

Great marriage!

It's quarter to. We'll take 'em by surprise.

I'll never carry a gun again.

Lost faith in it.

A gun's the first thing you get as a cop.

You get used to it.

But you never use it.

When you have to...

you're not ready.

Nobody's blaming you.

I blame myself.

You don't understand.

He was my best friend...

I know it's a blow for you

But you did the best you could.

Still, I knew that guy couldn't miss him!

I could've got a shot in first.

Instead, I put my gun down and said: "No shooting!"

You did right. Tried to cool things.

I knew.

I knew they were both hotheads.

I knew it.

Risking your life for the public good is a great honor.

The stern mission

of safeguarding law and order

demands heavy sacrifice.

We needn't tell this grieving family

what we feel

The sorrow of his loved ones far exceeds our own.

Mrs. Theron?

Bitch!
